I need to apologize. I am not in the right frame of mind to be posting as I just discovered one of my favourite fish has velvet. But that is another story. I was not trying to attack you at all ManyFish4Me. I am kinda sick of the negativity in general, but TBH, your thread is not negative, hence the need for an apology. In the future I will stop my fingers from typing what I am thinking until I have had a chance to decide whether or not it is appropriate.
To stay completely on topic, that lady is most probably trying to dupe some unsuspecting newbie into paying way too much for a VT that looks like he needs some TLC. You are correct. That is not a plakat, nor is it a doubletail/split tail.
